Pardon me for the confusion, but when I said 'everybody' I was referring to everyone on this thread.


There does, however, seem to be a very large issue with wifi problem. No matter what section of the forums you are in there are some variation of the similar problem with wifi. even over at Mac rumours you can can see thread after thread about it. This is no made up problem. It is real. lots of people are experiencing it.

A few seem to be. Some have solved their issues. Search these threads to read how.

Hello All,


After upgrading my iPad 4 to the latest iOS version 8.3, I was seeing wifi issues. Tried pretty much all the troubleshooting steps that I came across here in the forum and also online but nothing helped. However few days back I disabled Bluetooth & restarted my iPad after that. To my surprise the wifi issues that I have been seeing disappeared :-).


If you guys are seeing wifi issues, try this option & see if that works.

iPad 4 - 128gb.


Since IOS 8.2 my Wi-fi only works if I'm within 10 feet of my router (even tried at another location with same result)


Took my iPad to my 'local' Apple store who tested it and said


1. There is nothing wrong with the Wi-Fi chip - they ran diagnostics on it, and all seems fine (must be software then !!)

2. Reset from scratch - did that - no effect

3. Would I like to buy an iPad Air 2 ?


loosing faith in my Apple product.
